Kiss Nail Dress

I received the Kiss Nail Dress nail stickers in my Holiday Vox Box from Influenster to review along with a few others products. I'm sad to say these were among my least favorite thing in the box. 

I was kind of disappointed by the pattern I got. I think it's super tacky, and it's definitely not something I would have picked out for myself. 

The Peacock and Lace patterns would've probably been more up my alley, but to be perfectly honest, I'm really just a plain old nail polish girl.

The set came with a bunch of stickers that are supposed to be able to fit every nail and a nail file to file down the excess strip. The strips were fairly easy to apply, but you have to really make sure you smooth everything down properly to avoid bunches. Start in the middle, then work your way out. 

As you can see, the strip I ended up choosing for this nail didn't exactly fit all the way. That's my fault though, not the kit's (I chose it). I also applied a base coat before the strip, because these suckers damage your nail like crazy if not. I put a strip on my big toe first to test it out, and it ripped off a layer of nail. 

If you are looking for something relatively quick, the no dry factor is really nice. Even though you should apply a base coat, do NOT apply a top coat. These strips have top coat in them, so something about that reacts with the top coats and messes things up real fast. I made that mistake (and didn't read the package, oops). It just completely ruined the texture. These are not real nail polish strips, just stickers. 

Because of my topcoat error, this was the final result. 

I did get complemented on them the next day (I gave the rest of the strips to the girl who complemented me, because I didn't like them), but I just hated my nails every time I looked down. I just didn't like the pattern. They also "chipped" the day of. I put that in quotation marks, because they don't really chip, the sticker just gets moved in and dented and what not. I think that's just because I stupidly put on topcoat.

I didn't even try to see how long these would last, because I really just wanted to get this pattern off my nails. When I went to remove them, I tried to remove it with nail polish remover, which doesn't work all that well, but eventually did the job. I needed a lot of cotton pads and remover to get it done, because it was like trying to remove glue off your fingers (it had all the gluey pilling and everything). The package said to peel them off, but I couldn't get an opening in the sticker to do it (again, my bad with the top coat).

So overall, not that happy. I think it's just the tackiness of the pattern that made me not have high hopes for these, and then my mistake with the topcoat ruined everything. However, if you get a pattern you like, put on base coat, and don't put on topcoat, I could see these being something a lot of people like. They don't require drying time, and it probably would last a decent amount of time (mine just didn't because of the topcoat thing). 

As for price, they're pretty decent at about $7. However, I'd rather get a bottle of nail polish that I can get way more uses out of. But if you're interested, here are some links!
